After months of seeing my audi/HCP for adjustments and changes, I’m thinking it’s time to switch. It’s been one step forward on one issue but one step back in another area. At this rate it could another six months to address issues and, this is the crux, I’m not confident we’ll ever get there. I should have another appointment coming, waiting to hear back (scheduling is never easy), and I’m thinking having that hard talk then, but I’d appreciate some perspectives and be prepared:
How would switching audi work, as there’s many angles. I don’t think they’re ‘locked’ like I have heard can be the case, but could be. Would another audiologist take me as a patient I’ve already got one? Would this switch pop-up on manufacturer tracking or be prohibited based on initial licensing to the first audi? My current audi is under contract for service and that contract is pretty slim, you get HAs and support, but no terms on performance or getting out of the contracted services. Is going DIY a better choice here, instead of switching?
TIA for any input.
Edit: I’m US if that makes a difference.
